Maintenance
1. Water Resistance
The PINDOWS PDS-642 watch is water-resistant up to 30 meters (3 ATM). This means it is suitable for daily use, such as hand washing, splashes, and brief exposure to rain. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or hot water steam environments (e.g., showers, saunas) as this can compromise the water seals.

2. Cleaning and Care
- Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt.
- For silicone straps, a mild soap and water solution can be used, ensuring to rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or strong magnetic fields.
3. Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a long-lasting battery. When the display dims or the watch stops functioning, it indicates that the battery needs replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
4. Scratch Resistance
The watch features anti-scratch mineral glass, providing enhanced durability against everyday wear and tear. However, it is not entirely scratch-proof, so avoid contact with abrasive surfaces.
